Exploring predictors of mothers and children in various work/family situationsLivengood, Jennifer Leigh January 1900 (has links)
Master of Science / Department of Psychology / Mark A. Barnett / Previous literature indicates that individuals tend to believe that a woman who stays at home with a young child is a better mother than a woman who works full time despite having a young child. However, relatively little is known about perceptions of a woman whose work/family status represents a compromise between these two extremes (e.g., a woman who stops working for 18 months after the birth of her child and, then, gradually increases her time at work). Furthermore, prior research has not adequately addressed whether perceptions of mothers in various work/family situations are related to perceptions of their children and their relations with their children. The present study was an attempt to expand the literature by exploring selected individual difference measures as potential predictors of perceptions of mothers in various work-family situations (i.e., Stay-at-Home Mother [SAHM], Working Mother [WM], and Middle Mother [MM]) and by extending the target of these perceptions beyond the mothers to their children and the mother/child relationship. Ninety-six undergraduates (a) completed a series of individual difference measures, (b) were introduced to a WM, SAHM, or a MM via audiotape, (c) observed the mother interact with her child on the identical brief videotape, and (d) rated their perceptions of the mother, child, and mother-child relationship. Contrary to prediction, none of the individual difference measures was associated with any of the participants' attitudinal ratings. However, a consistent pattern was found in which the ratings of the WM, her child, and her relation with her child were less favorable than the respective ratings for the SAHM and MM (which did not differ from one another). The implications and limitations of the present study, as well as a discussion of future directions in research on perceptions of mothers with various work-family situations, are presented.

The impact of long-term partial sleep deprivation in unipara mothersStrous, Terri Tanya 05 March 2014 (has links)
Most sleep deprivation studies show increased body mass, increased hypertension, increased Type 2 Diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular issues and even death. There is a paucity of research in sleeping patterns of first time Caucasian mothers of babies between six and twelve months old in South Africa. The objective was to determine the impact of long-term partial sleep deprivation on metabolism and mood in these mothers.
A qualitative and quantitative study using a small sample of thirty one mothers was undertaken. Interviews assessed age, education, anthropometric data, family history, medication use, and baby sleeping habits. Participants were also asked to complete the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Becks Depression Inventory II (BDI-II)to assess the mothers sleep quality and depressive state.
Medication use significantly decreased sleep quality. Oral contraceptive use and depression (BDI-II score 14-40) were associated with a significantly higher PSQI score and significantly decreased number of hours sleep and sleep efficiency. Oral contraceptive users were significantly more depressed. The six mothers on antidepressants had significantly higher PSQI scores than those not on antidepressants, but hours of sleep and sleep efficiency were not significantly different.
This study showed that sleep deprivation did not impact mothers anthropometry. Interestingly medication use affected sleep quality more than baby arousals.

Employed mothers' satisfaction with child care choices : perceptions of accessibility, affordability, quality, and workplace flexibilityElliot, Janis Sabin 08 May 1996 (has links)
Interest in child care has grown dramatically, yet little is known about how
families manage to ensure appropriate child care. In a secondary analysis of data from
642 employed mothers representing a wide range of income levels, this research
identified the factors contributing most to mothers' satisfaction with child care
arrangements. The study used an ecological model with accessibility, affordability,
quality, and workplace flexibility as characteristics of the exosystem, and household
income, presence of a spouse or partner, and age of the youngest child as characteristics
of the microsystem. The research explored how individual family characteristics
combine with environmental characteristics to impact parental satisfaction. Three
questions guided the study:
(a) How do accessibility, affordability, quality of child care arrangements, and
workplace flexibility affect parental satisfaction with child care arrangements?
(b) How do income, household structure, and child's age affect parental satisfaction
with child care arrangements?
(c) How do these characteristics combine to affect parental satisfaction with child care
arrangements?
As proposed, the study found that for most mothers in the study, accessibility
and quality combine with income and household structure to impact satisfaction with
child care arrangements. Poorer women who pay a greater percentage of household
income had more concerns about quality and were more dissatisfied with their child care
arrangement than women paying a lower percentage of income for care. Despite
concerns about quality for mothers paying a greater percentage of income for care,
affordability contributed more than quality to satisfaction with child care. The data
provided evidence of a different trade-off for lower income families.
The results of this study have relevance for policies which address the needs of
families at all income levels. The policy principles based on the results of the study
include:
1. Basic health and safety regulations are important to quality and stability of care for all
parents.
2. Financial assistance with the cost of child care is important, especially for those
working families just above the poverty level.
3. Public support of services to improve child care is important to addressing the needs
of all employed mothers, regardless of income status. / Graduation date: 1996

The effects of maternal employment on the sex role development of offspringHricik, Debra A. January 1984 (has links)
The present study examined the relationship between the sex role orientations of college students and their mothers' employment history. The Bem Sex Role Inventory (BSRI) and a Parental Employment History Questionnaire were administered to 151 male and female undergraduates. Sixutilized standard score measures of sex role orientation from the BSRI as criterion variables. Predictor variables included sex of subjects, parents in the home, type of maternal employment and number of years mothers worked in full or part time postions. No significant relationships were determined between maternal employment and the sex role orientations of adult offspring. Implications and possible avenues for further research in sex role and maternal employment research are discussed.
